Patricia Cornwell

Patricia Cornwell is an American novelist best known for writing a popular series of crime novels featuring the fictional heroine Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner.

The Scarpetta novels include a great deal of detail on forensics. The solution to the mystery is usually found in the forensic investigation of the murder victim's corpse.  Scarpetta does considerably more field investigation and confrontation with suspects than real-life medical examiners.

The novels are considered to have influenced the development of popular fictional TV series on forensics such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and documentaries, such as Cold Case Files.

Besides the Scarpetta novels, Cornwell has written three more laugh-out-loud police fictions featuring Andy Brazil, an ambitious young reporter and a sometimes too eager-volunteer cop. Click Here
